The teenage years are a time of intense emotional, mental, and social change. Academic pressure, identity development, peer relationships, and growing independence often place teenagers under emotional stress they struggle to express.
Many parents notice sudden changes in behaviour withdrawal, anger, silence, mood swings, or loss of motivation and feel unsure how to help without pushing their teen away.
This page is for families looking for teen emotional and mental health support to better understand what their teenager is going through and how to navigate this phase with clarity and care.
Your teenager comes home from school and goes straight to their room. Conversations feel short or tense. They seem irritable, withdrawn, or emotionally distant. When you try to talk, they shut down or say, “You won’t understand.”
As a parent, you feel worried, helpless, and unsure whether this is “normal teenage behaviour” or something deeper.
